Little Iggy Loses His Big Brother

I got into work the other day and found this heart-wrenching sight at my desk.

Some of you are familiar with Little Iggy (the pint-sized orange chap on the left) and his adopted Dad, the Pointy-Haired Boss of Dilbert fame but only a very select few of you know that Little Iggy has a bigger brother, even though you may know of him.

Little Iggy's big brother, sprung to life in an entry I made titled "Rod Steward Concert " which chronicled the thoughts of four orange coneheads waiting in line to use a port-a-potty during a concert given by none other than Rod Stewart. (Note: I checked the spelling at least three times, ChicagoLady!)

You may know of him as OCHA #4.

It turns out that OCHA #4's real name is Tangerine "Tang" Bonehead, and while he has found success as a perfume manufacturer, he is largely a social failure and misfit in general. In order for him to build his self-esteem, the Warpedconeologist suggested he volunteer his time as a big brother. And so it was he met Little Iggy.

Unfortunately, the Pointy-Haired Boss got a bit jealous of the attention Tang was getting from Little Iggy, so he plotted with Carol, his misanthropic and bitter secretary on ways to have Tang sent to Ebonia. Turns out that Tang was to be placed in a parcel box and was going to be sent to Ebonia when, fortunately, good ol' lazy Wally intervened and put Tang in the box he didn't have to walk so far to reach. He did this shortly after the tearful farewell scene I stumbled into pictured above.

As I write this, I think Tang is in the UK. If so, I am hopeful that his newly adopted parent isn't squeezing him for perfume. That scent has produced unfortunate events in the past.
